House Tour: Denver, Colorado

We break from the regularly scheduled program to bring you this message. While West 22nd Street continues to work on insulating the walls and ceiling, we take you to Colorado to peek into the house of a client (

, that manufactures and sells Baby Wraps, the natural way to carry your baby. Point being, her home office is important and needs to work well.

The photos will show you that a tremendous change of FEELING has occured with some simple physical changes. Here's the rundown:

The BedroomReoriented bedroom - head away from the doorChanged the color scheme from warm to cool colors for better sleeping

OfficeInstalled Elfa shelving around the room to get all supplies off of the floorRemoved all doors to closets and living room to provide ease of accessInstalled more lighting, and move sewing machine to window for natural light

Living/Dining RoomRemoved all bookcases blocking door to officeRecovered couch and introduced new pillowsRehung all pictures at 57" on center

This gives you the highlights. The entire thing was done on a strict budget, with the client overseeing all the work herself over the space of 6 weeks. The toughest part? Waiting for the shelving to be delivered from The Container Store (it's so popular, it's constantly on backorder). MGR
